MUSIC FOR NATIONS Hymns (2001)

Hymns proves that well over a decade on from their inception, Godflesh can still make the sort of thunderously heavy music to blast their imitators into submission. With the likes of Fear Factory and Foetus queuing up to doff their caps to the legacy of Godflesh, it's clear that the influence of these venerable Brum industrial innovators has far outstripped their sales. And now, it sounds like they're changing their tune: Hymns has far more in common with the modern stoner-rock firmament than any flour-faced industrial newcomers. From the opening "Defeated"--a sludgy Kyuss-style granite slab of solidified distortion and hammer-blow drumming--to the bleak nihilism of "Voidhead"--"Why am I such a void?" ponders frontman Justin Broadrick, over and over and over--this is clearly a heavy metal relic in its most hoary, gnarled form. Fortunately, however, Godflesh possess an aptitude for crafting approachable tunes from such industrial-strength material: the glorious likes of "Anthem" and "White Flag" possess a truly epic, stadium-sized sweep, but never feel the need to sand down those rough edges. --Louis Pattison
